[PC/PS3/XB360] Battlefield 3 Official Thread

[Geddes]

Stop ruining this thread about consoles you lot. Keep on topic

 

[Scutch]

Take this PC boys :

DICE community manager Daniel Matros has been answering questions about Battlefield 3 on Twitter. Battlefield fan @bkohn1 asked him whether a rig matching the Battlefield 3 recommended system requirements would run the game on ultra settings. Matros replied to say that “recommended is usually medium.”

So will a top of the range Nvidia GTX580 do the trick? Apparently not. Matros revealed that we’ll need two 580s in SLI to make the most of the Frostbite 2 engine. The minimum system specifications may not be too punishing, but for those who want to see Battlefield 3 at its very best, a hefty upgrade may needed. Battlefield 3 may well be worth the expense. Would you be tempted to upgrade?

 

[J0sh]

Ouch. Just one of those cards retails for around £370 odd.

 

[conneh]

Something like a 6970 will play it fine.

 

[p@blo]

Awesome.

Simply, f**king, Grade-A awesome.

At last - EA/DICE have grown a pair. I was still concerned that they would cave-in to the masses and give us draw distances 20ft away - but it sounds like they stuck with pushing the PC version to the top of the pile. Faith restored.

My setup will run this ok, but a better gfx card is calling. Why should I play it well when I could play it superbly?

D.

Champion, I'll be getting this for the xbox and pc. Was likewise wondering if they'd skimp on quality to level things with the c**tsoles. Thank f**k they've seen sense

 

[Kris86]

Will an 8800gtx 756mb gfx card really struggle with this you think? Iv got quadcore/4gb of ram which should be ok..

 

[IsaacJDean]

I reckon it might struggle. What resolution would you be running?

 

[BioHzrd]

Anyone know if the PC Specs have been released yet ??

 

[Kris86]

I reckon it might struggle. What resolution would you be running?

Im not sure what resolution, whatever it would run nicely with..

I've seen countless videos, but that was the same thought I had when I watched it too. Especially when it said, "Gameplay footage."

LOL.
